Troy Taylor [merged]

Spot on Al.

Common sense, if there is any left in the legal system will see him lving in Victoria in a stabilised environment with a clear promoised future ahead of him.

Sending him to jail will not help his development as a member of society any better than keeping him in Victoria playing AFL.

hmm justice would probably see him behind bars. without justice you end up with anarchy  where every man and his dog takes the law into his own hands.

its simple hes done the crime   he has to do the time if found guilty.. there are no excuses.  hes already gone thru a shedload of excuses  and chances.
oh i know what when he does it for the billzillionth time  perhaps some will say enough. or perhaps the next time he loses control  he maims someone or worse kills them.
he would be in a power of trouble if he hurt one of my kids  or killed them  i would gladly put a bullet in him and put my hand up and say hey i did it, do your worst. yep anarchy looking better every day.

What a load of BS.  For a start, He dropped some rude prick who collared him and man handled him on a public street, I would of popped him as well.  Secondly, unlike some of the charming turds we have down here in Melbourne, he wasn't tooled up with a shiv or a cudgel and nor did he go to work on him once he was on the deck by sinking the slipper in, so making out he is some sort of dangerous animal that could hurt one of your kids is just absolute crap mate.  WTF is this Andrew Bolts outrage column all of a sudden?  He gets his day in court just like 'whitey', and I reckon he is innocent until proven otherwise.  Talking about stuffing shooting him?...what the stuff is wrong with you?  How do you come up with stupid scenarios that he is a threat to your stuffing kids?

IMHO, the real issue is not his actions this time as it is easy to defend, its that he was on parole.

I also hope we get the best legal team together as from what I have seen he is worth it - I just hope he appreciates and repays Richmond!

Collingwood recruit Ryan Cook fined, avoids conviction over assault

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-recruit-ryan-cook-fined-avoids-conviction-over-assault/story-e6frf9jf-1225843898116

A different assault charge and different state/territory to Troy's but Cook got off because the judge said the other guy that was hit despite his injuries had to be held "partially account for his own situation" because he was taunting Cook and had been drinking. Interesting to see when Taylor's case is heard what the full story is and whether the "assault" was one-way. One of the 3 older blokes allegedly hit by Troy admitted to the Herald-Sun just a few days after the NYE's incident that he dragged Troy out by the collar.

Yeah was thinking the same thing and Cook did A crapload of damage to this bloke into the bargain, bunch of facial fractures, TT did nothing like that, just rattled his ego and dropped his aspirations a few pegs.  Hope the Law up there sees it the same way, Cook had no priors though.

How's the difference between that article and one in the Sydney Morning Herald?
They even tell you who threw the first punch. The Herald Scum mustn't of thought that was very relevant.

Isn't it Troy's day in court today?  The court list from Alice Springs says,

  C2       TAYLOR Troy                                                     
                     21002626   10.00 AM        Mention                   
                                                                           
                             1  Aggravated assault                         
                             2  Aggravated assault                         
                             3  Aggravated assault                         
                             4  Unlawfully damage Property                 
                             5  Engage in violent conduct

Does a "mention" mean it's the actual hearing or will it be adjourned to another future date?

Taylor to contest assault charge

http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2010/03/30/135831_ntnews.html

Mr Horbath told the court his client would plead not guilty to all five charges and would return in August for a hearing.

Thanks for the update, Hoover.  Now the kid has it hanging over his head till August.  I guess that in order to put it out of his mind for some time, he needs to concentrate on his footy.

Tiger Troy Taylor will contest assault charge

RICHMOND recruit Troy Taylor has told a court he will defend charges he gatecrashed an Alice Springs party and assaulted three men.

Taylor, 18, appeared in Alice Springs Magistrates Court this morning.

He flew in from Melbourne with his lawyer Paul Horvath and a Richmond development officer, the Northern Territory News reports.

Mr Horbath told the court his client would plead not guilty to all five charges and would return in August for a hearing.

It is alleged Taylor assaulted three men at a New Years Eve party in the early hours of January 1.

He was released on bail and the case was adjourned to August 9, when four days have been set aside to hear the case.

The Tigers have not suspended Taylor but it is likely to cost him at least one game - the case is scheduled to start the day after the Tigers play Melbourne at the MCG in Round 19.

Taylor was drafted by Richmond last December, just weeks before the alleged assault.

The Tigers have strongly supported Taylor and he was close to making his debut against Carlton in Round 1.

Four days set aside for the trial?  Sounds like it is no small matter.  Both sides must have the odd witness lined up to give evidence and be cross examined.
